Learning objective

What this activity builds

Use consistent writing height and spacing when recording numerals, labels and explanations.

Worked example

How can one writing band support number practice?

Write a model numeral, then leave room for several careful repetitions.

The guides organize handwriting rather than encode place value or numerical size. A larger written numeral does not represent a larger number.

Teaching notes

Make the practice count

  • Model one numeral or short word before independent writing.
  • Leave space between repeated numerals.
  • Use short number sentences once individual numerals are secure.
  • Adapt the writing task to the learner rather than requiring a full page every time.
